Lucky: To Elizabeth. You never gave up. You've given me the honor of being a father to your child. You're the love of my life, tonight and forever.
All: Hear, hear.
Alan: Nicely done.
Lesley: As always.
Elizabeth: And to Lucky, my first and last love. You never left my heart, and you never will. Some of my happiest days have been spent with you, and even in my darkest nights I knew you were out there somewhere, holding on, loving me, just as I love you.
Monica: Aw.
Alan: Nice. Very nice. Beautiful.
Lucky: And -- to the only two people who could've created this wedding full of magic and love --
Elizabeth: And romance.
Lucky: And romance. To my brother, Nikolas --
Elizabeth: And my dear friend Emily.
All: Hear, hear.
Nikolas: Tonight has been a long, long time coming, but we all knew eventually it would. You've defied the odds, survived adversity, and inspired each and every one of us. Somehow you've always been able to find your way back to one another by having the faith and the courage to follow your hearts. Hear, hear.
All: Hear, hear
Lesley Lu: If they say "all for one and one for all," I'm going to puke.
Emily: Now, your next surprise is the honeymoon suite at the Metro Court. And Elizabeth rode a train into Port Charles, didn't you?
Elizabeth: Yes.
Emily: And you met Lucky a couple of days later?
Elizabeth: Mm-hmm.
Lucky: Mm-hmm. That's back when she was wild, right, Audrey?
Audrey: Well, maybe a little.
Laughter.
Emily: So it only seems right that a train should carry you into your new life with Lucky.
Nikolas: That's right, because tomorrow an antique train is taking the two of you into Manhattan.
Elizabeth: I have to work.
Alan: No, you don't.
Nikolas: No, you both have two weeks off, the both of you. I've already arranged it, so --
Elizabeth: Two weeks?
Nikolas: Yes.
Elizabeth: Oh, my God.
Lucky: Hear, hear!
Laughter.
Alan: Two weeks!
Emily: You have to get changed.
Elizabeth: How do I thank you?
Emily: Just be happy.
Elizabeth: I am. I am.
Lucky: What can I say? Thanks.
Nikolas: No problem.
Lucky: Something's been bugging you all night.
Nikolas: No, nothing at all. I'm having a great time.
Lucky: You know what? Don't lie to your brother on his wedding day. So what's going on?
Nikolas: Courtney's pregnant, Jax is the father. Cheers.
Elizabeth: Oh. Thank you.
Emily: You're welcome.
Elizabeth: It must've been pretty awful thinking that Courtney was pregnant with Nikolas' baby.
Emily: Yeah, it hurt at first. Then I adjusted.
Elizabeth: Well, now you don't have to adjust. Because Jax is the father.
Emily: Are you ok?
Elizabeth: Yeah, yeah. It's just ironic. I guess I didn't have to go through the pregnancy or the miscarriage if Jax and Courtney just gave it a little time.
Emily: Yeah, Jax and Courtney aren't big on patience. They want what they want when the want it.
Elizabeth: Maybe they belong together, which would leave Nikolas free to go back to you.
Emily: Nikolas and I are over. He's with Courtney now. Jax may be the father, but Nikolas is going to help her raise the baby. There's no room for me in Nikolas' life.
Nikolas: The DNA test came back just before the wedding, and Courtney and I -- we just assumed that I would be the father.
Lucky: What do you want to do now?
Nikolas: I want to stay with Courtney, that's what I want to do.
Lucky: Isn't she still married to Jax?
Nikolas: Yes, she is, technically. Look, I realize that Jax isn't just going to stand aside, divorce Courtney, and allow me to raise his child. I get that. Things are going to be difficult, Lucky, but I just -- you know, I can't just --
Lucky: Jax -- Jax got possessive during the surrogacy. I don't want to think about what he's going to be like now.
Nikolas: Yeah, I know. A new baby doesn't always bring out the best in people.
Emily: Nikolas and I had so much fun planning the wedding. It was just like old times.
Lucky: I guess it was a little subtle, but Elizabeth and I thought if we got you and Emily involved in our wedding, that --
Nikolas: What? We'd fall in love again?
Lucky: That you'd realize you never fell out of love in the first place.
Elizabeth: Nikolas barely took his eyes off you the entire night.
Emily: We were your best people, Elizabeth. It was our job to present a united front. You know, Nikolas loves Courtney and they're looking forward to the baby together.
Elizabeth: But the baby isn't even his.
Emily: This is not a discussion that we should be having right after you and Lucky got married. But if you need me to convince you, I'll say it again. Nikolas d I agreed to a divorce. We loved each other very deeply, but we just couldn't make our marriage work.
Elizabeth: Or maybe you're both making a mistake, and compounding it by staying apart.
Nikolas: You knew all this, Lucky. Emily and I -- we're hurting each other. That's why we split up in the first place.
Lucky: Well, maybe you and Emily are -- are through the worst of it. Jax will want Courtney back now.
Nikolas: What if I don't want to give her back?
Lucky: Are you really going to throw away what you and Emily had? Forever?
Elizabeth: I don't think you're ready to give up on Nikolas.
Emily: I already have.
Elizabeth: Well, are you sure? Because if there's any hope at all, you need to tell him. He's not obligated to Courtney anymore.
Emily: It won't make any difference, Elizabeth. Nikolas has made up his mind.
Nikolas: I can't just turn my back on Courtney, Lucky. I'm in love with her, and Jax isn't. He only wants her for the child, Lucky, that's it.
Emily: My life works fine without Nikolas, Elizabeth. I feel wanted, needed. It's exactly the way I want.
Elizabeth: Yeah, but can't you feel this way with Nikolas?
Emily: Not anymore, Elizabeth. Too much has happened. You know, Nikolas and I -- we're fine as friends. That's it.
Elizabeth: Mm-hmm. Do you remember -- remember when I used to say the same thing about me and Lucky? Moving on is good, Em, but sometimes going back can be even better.
Emily: Not anymore. Do you honestly believe that Courtney would go back to Jax after what he did?
Nikolas: Look, I don't -- I don't love Courtney any less for being pregnant with Jax's baby. But at the end of the day, Lucky, I'm afraid. I'm afraid that I'll lose her.
Bobbie: Everybody? The newlyweds are about ready to leave, so --
Dillon: Oh, hey, let me get some of that.
Audrey: Has everybody got some?
Monica: I think so.
Alan: Yes, I have.
Nikolas: Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention, please?
Bobbie: Oh.
Nikolas: Thank you. It is now time for Mr. and Mrs. Lucky Spencer to come into the world as husband and wife, so, please, come on in.
Cheers
Nikolas: Hey!
Lucky: We want to thank you all for being here.
Elizabeth: You truly have given us the wedding of our dreams.
Women: Aw.
Emily: And it's not over yet. Your carriage awaits.
Nikolas: Go ahead, go on, get on there!
Cheers.
Monica: I am so proud of you.
Alan: Your grandmother would've loved every second of this.
Monica: Yes.
Emily: Lila was the ultimate blend of hopeless romantic and true realist. She knew how to love and forgive and how to make a marriage work.
Monica: Yeah, well, not all marriages are fairy tales. We know. But maybe Lucky and Elizabeth's will be, thanks to you.
Alan: Seeing as you and Nikolas could work such magic for your friends, maybe you could do it for yourself.
Monica: Alan. I just want you to be happy.
Mike: Honey? Honey, look, why don't I take you home. It's been a stressful ening and you've come through it like a trooper, but enough is enough.
Courtney: Dad, I'm hanging in there, and I need to spend some time --
Jax: Courtney?
Mike: Jax, look, can't you give her a chance to catch her breath for one second?
Courtney: Dad, it's ok. It's ok.
Mike: Are you sure?
Courtney: Yes.
Jax: Our divorce papers arrived as I was leaving my office.
Courtney: Well, you didn't bring them here, did you?
Jax: My plan was to sign them tonight. Celebrate this marriage, kiss ours goodbye, part as friends. But now there's just no way I can do that.
Nikolas: Hi. Well, we pulled off the impossible once again, didn't we?
Emily: Yeah.
Nikolas: Yeah.
Emily: That's what fairy tales are all about.
Nikolas: Hmm. It was great, wasn't it?
Emily: Yeah. I guess all fairy tales have to come to an end.
Nikolas: Yeah, I guess so.
Emily: I have to go pay the caterer.
Nikolas: Ok, ok.
Jax: If you want to go offshore and buy a quickie divorce, I won't contest it. But I will not deliberately rip apart this child's family.
Courtney: Well, wasn't that your plan at one time, Jax?
Jax: You know, I regret how we both handled the surrogacy. But we've been given another chance, courtney, and I want to take that.
Courtney: Oh, Jax. I'm with Nikolas now. Ok, look, you're going to find someone new and you're going to want to be with them. It's just our marriage -- it didn't work for a ton of reasons. I think that the best thing that we can do is just let go.
Jax: We can just think about ourselves anymore. We have to consider our child. Just think about that, ok?
Nikolas: Jax must be excited about the baby.
Courtney: Yeah, he is.
Nikolas: Making all kinds of plans, I'm sure.
Courtney: Yeah, it's kind of scary.
Nikolas: Yeah.
Courtney: He doesn't want to sign the divorce papers, says that he wants to try again. Jax wants to make everything all right, says that a child deserves to be with both their parents.
Nikolas: Yeah, well, I can't really argue that.
Courtney: Do you think that I am awful and selfish because I wish you were thfather?
Nikolas: No. No, because I feel the same way. But, hey, it just didn't work out that way, did it? Well, listen, I want you to know that whatever choice you make for you and your baby, I'll support that.
Courtney: You know, Jax and I wanted a child. Now, despite everything, we're having one.
Nikolas: Yeah.
Courtney: You know, I just -- I feel like I owe my child the chance to be with me and -- and its father.
Nikolas: You mean you think you owe Jax another chance?
Jax: You throw an extraordinary wedding.
Emily: Thank you. Jax, I know about the baby. I've -- I've known for a while, but I just found out that you're the father tonight.
Jax: Yeah, I guess we're all a little bit surprised. You know, my parents stayed married through some pretty tough times. I want to do the same. I want to try to win Courtney back, try to be the best father and husband I can.
Emily: It won't be easy.
Jax: I've always appreciated a challenge. I'm sure it's possible. You believe in forgiveness, don't you?
